Born VZ vs Mokka GSE: A new golden age of hot hatch is here

Can a circa-two-tonne electric car call itself a hot hatch?

This updated Cupra Born VZ seems to be passing its first key test with flying colours. Folks younger than I repeatedly pull alongside in their modified Vauxhall Corsas or Seat Ibizas, slowing down with just the right timing to look across and wave, nod in approval or, on one occasion, liberally dish out chef’s kisses. How very Gen Z.
